Even for LSPAF, in approximately 60% of patients, non-PV triggers were not elicited, and PVI plus PWI alone achieved good outcomes. Although the inducibility of non-PV triggers was associated with recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias, additional non-PV trigger ablation may improve the outcome after multiple procedures.
